The Top 10 Best Free SharePoint Apps From the Microsoft Store

They are convenient, on-point and easy to handle: apps help you through the day. On your iPhone or Android smartphone or in SharePoint. Yes, you read that correctly. In SharePoint. There is a broad range of apps – or add-ins – in the popular collaboration tool, which help you add new functions or applications to an existing SharePoint page. While more and more IT decision makers opt for this program because SharePoint in particular can be flexibly adjusted to a company’s individual needs, the development of new functions still requires time and expertise.
